By far my favorite music reactor on KZbin. Please don’t stop making these kinds of vids. Your analysis is 👌🏻

[@livycharp5927]

So true!!

[@hgbanger]

check out TheThirdErnest, this guy is as good as him at reactin, rly great

[@audreydadd8892]

he is the best reactor!@@hgbanger

[@thomasmarchese2808]

Penny is also a liar.

[@tonyfro23]

Zero disagreement. Obviously more entertaining reactors but here for the bars not a show. I know where to go for the show and where to go for hardcore breakdown. Dammit love all types but respect this guy's game. It's 100 legit best breakdown IMO

[@V1G1LANTEK9]

When he references pennywise its because of the balloons and he wants to pop the balloons of doubts and fears and burdens but hes struggling

[@kialkelly6591]

[@andreichicu2799]

This idea fits perfectly with the 'The Search' album

[@markcooper4876]

CatchThePug I’m not sure where you heard that Intro III is about a friend that backstabbed him, but it is about getting past his fear even though he feels he needs it. Jonny that he mentioned writing a song about was his abusive stepdad, not a friend.

[@ShaneDizzin]

He's having a conversation with his pride in this back and forth, extremely deep

[@FastCubeMaster]

How did you figure that out?

"How could you leave us" may not be his best but it's worth a listen.

[@toppyos]

R u trying to see him crying lmak

[@becca1aaron2matt3]

Definitely need to see this video

[@elisaloo4771]

Also "can you hold me" is one of my favourites, it deviates slightly from his usual.

[@angelas.g.9848]

Ummm. "How could you leave us, may not be his best, but it's worth a listen??" 🙄 It's 1 of his, VERY, very BEST songs. Shows all emotions.. His vulnerability. It flows perfect. He sang it, in the studio, had people leave, he was crying.. They "accidentally" left the Mic on.... That was never to be aired.. He decided to keep it. Songwriting is, as usual, impeccable. He's in his own lane. No one like him.. He can go as hard as anyone else. He's a, HUGE, talent. Word play.. Beatz.. He is, absolutely, REAL. Sings, raps, talks.. Unbelievable. (His wife, has been his, 1 saving grace.)

[@mintymeandyou]

Angela S. G. YES THANK YOU and oohh I never knew they recoreded a Part accidentally Shows how he’s in his on zone

Only is the best 1 imo so relatable when he talks a thinking your dreams are 1 thing but gettin disappointed and being scared of making a bad impression so u stay quiet

[@XxSLVRWLFxX]

I’ve listened to a lot of reactors and they’re phenomenal but it’s always refreshing to hear the breakdown piece by piece in full detail from an artist in the same field not just for the simple fact of genuine understanding of the flow but the deeper meaning behind the lyrics as well phenomenal as always keep doing what you do best my friend much love and respect

[@user-ob9tl8hm8f]

[@cozycascreates]

All his songs are amazing! He puts to words what people are trying to think and work through. He is a lyrical genius!

[@meaghanmiller3447]

When you mention the writing on the walls, you are referring to his song mansion which explains the writing and it's a really amazing and powerful song.

[@hanfam7665]

That whole connection with big seans album had me shook. I've listened to Why so many times and I never understood that.

[@malshaahmed8335]

Your NF reactions are the best i have seen so far. Hope you keep reacting to more of his songs

[@icecreamstew6982]

This is honestly the best reaction on KZbin right now

[@shadowhcr3565]

I believe when nf says I just cant deside to stick my knife inside a pennywise hes also referencing pennywise from it. Which would explain the extra effort he put into the cinematic part of the video to turn it u to some of the classic horror like aspects the Intro camera flashing in and out and some of the camera pan and zooms that was used. He could be using g it to have us visualize his fear as an individual and help us use it for future songs about fear and especially in mansion. But u could be reading to dar into this

[@chaotic3548]

Hes referring to pennywise bc pennywise represents fear. So he's talking about killing his fear.

still a weak ass bar nonetheless

[@mr.brownbull6825]

Ugh I can't get over how in depth you are with every detail of music I usually hate when reactors pause too much but every time you pause you say something that just interests me with me being someone who also wants to do music but in the most lyrical and best way I can in my own style which I am struggling to find just watching your reacts and the certain key things that you talk about alone has given me so much inspiration and options to grow what I'm trying to do I love hip hop so much, NF and hopsin are my biggest influences so to hear you break down everything not even just the bars or the instrumentals is like music to my ears so I thank you and keep this up your gonna spark a lot of young minds like myself

[@i2depth496]

If you react to "outro" you're basically reacting to his whole therapy session album.

[@huntergarnhardt]

Big Sean is actually one of Nate's greatest inspirations, that's why he uses his beat and pays homage to it

[@livycharp5927]

I absolutely love this video! Love how you explain everything in detail. Keep up the amazing work!

You're watching "Hell of a depression". Nobody understands depression better than people who have been going through of it. Nf brings that out like no one ever done, that's the reason why i love it, it's helped me and so many of other people to just live,breath and go through of a day or night. Thanks for good review and understanding his music

[@meriksen_]

One of my very favorites!!!!! You are the only reactor I've seen to catch the thought was big Sean's flow! And I loooovvveee the breakdown of the Big Sean part!!! ........ This is one of my top 3 favorites. I thoroughly enjoyed your review and your thoughts on it. ............ MY TOP favorites.. •Real •Mansion •Therapy Session •Outro •Green Lights (about leaving his label) •Statement •Remember This •Face it (the message in this is sooooo overlooked. One I "heard" it... the words... it has become a favorite that resonates)

[@skurb8785]

In Manion, NF said "Lyrics on the wall" All of the lyrics on the wall in the building in 'Why' is possibly referencing the Manion wordplay.

[@emilygibson4209]

I thought of the aspect of pennywise as fear, but there’s also the word play of “I can’t decide if i should stick my knife inside of IT” like commit to tackling something with someone else’s perspective “I wish that I could think like big Sean does but I just can’t decide if I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise (it)”

[@acarinix2136]

Your detailed analysis and understanding of the hip hip/rap community mixed with nate's lyrics and flow is actually amazing. I don't think I've enjoyed watching a reaction video this much before.

3:45 Omg I just got that, about how in mansion he mentions how his walls are full of lyrics, meaning this right here is his house (not sure if before or after renovation from paid my dues)

Thank you for reacting to NF today I needed this lol

[@brettbrian4539]

Man your breakdowns on his video are so good!

[@saintmayhem9873]

I love how he uses someone else's flow and then sorta cites it like he's writing an essay. Also, I just noticed this now after having watched his video more than a few times. Every now and then, it seems like where the beats switch up or possibly his flow switches, anyway, every now and then there's a flicker of his face in closeup with the big black smile.

[@johannesarning8462]

[@timmullaney6338]

please keep reacting to nf your reactions are great

[@caylajulian292]

My interpretation: the room in this video is a reference to the song mansion. At the end of the video he is actually sitting outside on a porch swing ... (no house; no porch... again, a mansion reference) ... he sits outside in the swing - back to reality in a sense. As if he has exited his head/thoughts, so to-speak. And the only thing he brings to the outside with him, is a cart full of thoughts and emotion.

[@KnoxHill]

Wow, love that insight! I haven’t reacted to Mansion yet but it is high on my list. I definitely agree with these thoughts
